With every other word you made me yours
With every wish you breathed
And every promise
Yeah, yeah
How did you read my mind,
Tell me every line that I longed to hear
Well you were so convincing
But you left me empty
I remember when we were both so naive
And now you’re telling me that you never believed

I’m a dreamer
Who should’ve known better
But I thought you had a dream here too
I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better
Cuz now I have to live, I have to live
In this dream without you

I used to laugh aloud when you were around, now you’re far away
Can’t even hear me
With every other word you said to me as I fell asleep
Now they’re fading whispers
I can’t remember
I believed we were in this together
Giving everything for a chance at forever

I’m a dreamer
Who should’ve known better
But I thought you had a dream here too
I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better
Cuz now I have to live, I have to live
In this dream without you

With every other word you made me yours
With every wish you breathed
And every promise
Yeah, yeah
How did you read my mind,
Tell me every line that I longed to hear
Well you were so convincing
But you left me empty
I remember when we were both so naive
And now you’re telling me that you never believed

I’m a dreamer
Who should’ve known better
But I thought you had a dream here too
I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better
Cuz now I have to live, I have to live
In this dream without you

And then it all becomes too much
Couldn’t you fight a little harder for us
You traded dreams for reality
And promises you couldn’t keep
And nothing was the way it seemed

I’m a dreamer
Who should’ve known better
But I thought you had a dream here too, yeah
I’m a dreamer who should’ve known better
Cuz now I have to live, I have to live
In this dream without you
I should’ve known better
Oh, and I thought you had a dream here too, yeah
I’m a dreamer
Who should’ve known better
Cuz now I have to live, I have to live in this dream without you

Ever since I heard Kari Kimmel’s song Watching Over You, I’ve been listening to her music a lot. This track resonates with me very well since I’m pretty home based lately. It’s great to hear music that places so much love and care in the words and vocals – I understand it’s not popular or viral; but it’s those little emotions that we don’t really have time for sometimes. This track just makes me feel warm, inside.

It’s not where you come from
It’s where you belong
Nothin’ I would trade
I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’re surrounded
By love and you’re wanted
So never feel alone
You are home with me
Right where you belong

If you’re feeling down or weak
You can always count on me
I will always pick you up
Nothing’s ever gonna change
Nothing’s gettin’ in my way
I will always hold you up

[Chorus:]
It’s not where you come from
It’s where you belong
Nothin’ I would trade
I wouldn’t have it any other way
You’re surrounded
By love and you’re wanted
So never feel alone
You are home with me
Right where you belong

I know sometimes you’re feeling lost
It’s hard to find your place in it all
But you don’t have to fear
Even when you mess up
You always got my love
I’m always right here
Oh, cause
